bia Federation of Women's Clubs.

nished by a New York church, it is
announced. Among those who left

Maud Howell Smith, Mrs. Thelma

Topaz Big as Bushel Basket
To Be Shown at Smithsonian
aa uig ah w, uumipi uiibKei,
the largest ever seen, has been ac
quired by the Smithsonian Institu
tion and eventually will be placed
on exhibit as one of the prize speci
mens in a world-famous collection of
precious stones.
The stone, which weighs 350,000
carats, was uncovered in the Minas
Geraes Province of Brazil by miners
searching for other gems. The
crystal, although having several
large flaws, has natural faces as
smooth as if polished by a jeweler.
While popular as a precious stone,
uie lupafi iallies uuii»mnauij ueiow
the emerald, the ruby or the
diamond. Dr. William F. Foshag,
curator of mineralogy at the Smith
sonian, pointed out.
The color of the giant topaz
ranges from a pale blue on the out
side to a pale sherry on the inside.
It comes from a general area where
some of the. world’s finest sherry
colored gems are found.
Many stones sold the public as
topazes, Dr. Foshag said, actually
are a yellow-colored variety of
quartz, which is much more abun
dant. Even gem dealers are fooled
by the two minerals.
The largest crystal previously
known weighs 137 pounds, as com
pared with 153 pounds of the
Smithsonian stone, and now is in
the'British Museum. It was found
in Nigeria and is of a quality in
ferior to the new find.
